I am not able to use an enterprise hdd in my dell server. When I try to wipe the Disk through PROXMOX ui, I get this error.

Code:
error wiping '/dev/sdg': 209715200 bytes (210 MB, 200 MiB) copied, 14.6273 s, 14.3 MB/s

Server: Dell Power Edge r730XD
Controller: HBA330
Version: Virtual Environment 8.1.3

The disk was originally 520B and reformatted to 512B using sg3-utils. Is there anything that indicates problem with the disk.?
